Aborted workout. Too fast for the opening 60' and it was warm, hilly, and windy. Got through 17' of planned 22' at HME. Skipped my strides and did a short cool down.

I hung out by the water on a bench for a while. Watched people on the ropes course for a while.

First time at Stoney Creek (I generally do not drive to run). Quite a park. The loop is 6 miles around the lake and includes more hills and pavement than I'm used to.

PM: 11.3 miles, averaged 7:58

Workout: 20 x 1'/1'

30' up/20' down

First two a half marathon effort, next two at 10k effort, final sixteen at 5k effort. Windy, cool, and damp. Sluggishish on the warmup but the workout felt good. Last few reps got a little tough. Would not have wanted to do 25 or 30.

The foliage has kicked into high gear after a very warm weekend.

Brisk out. Wore gloves and a base layer. Good running weather, but I am not ready for the cold. Easy pace gets faster if nothing else.

PM: 5.5 miles, averaged 8:13

Broke in a pair of Saucony ISO Zealots

60' + 40' tempo (marathon effort) + 5' jog + 6 x 45" strides + short cool down to 2:05

Quite cool out. Pace was just over 7. That's where I'm at. Ran the right effort, which was the point of the workout.
